Logan Stanley: our analysis
2026-27 season: 19 GP, 0 G, 5 A, 5 PTS, +2 +/-, 20:43 TOI. WAR -0.1 (189th of 267) · PAL 31, below average.
In 2026-27, Logan Stanley, 28, posts a PAL Rating of 31 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of -0.1 ranks 189th among 267 regulars, in the bottom half.
His strengths: penalty kill (95, among the best in the league). On the other hand, shooting (12, among the weakest in the league) and creation (12, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: penalty kill (+0.2); his biggest cost: finishing (-0.7).
An improvement on 2025-26, when his PAL was 26; his WAR, though, went from 0.1 to -0.1.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 53 (fair value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Logan Stanley's story
Taken 18th overall in the 2016 NHL draft, Logan Stanley’s early development followed a conventional Ontario route from minor hockey to major junior. Born in Kitchener and raised in Waterloo, he progressed through local youth programs before being selected by the Windsor Spitfires in the 2014 OHL Priority Selection and joining their roster to play under Bob Boughner.
His junior years earned him NHL attention; after signing a three-year entry-level deal with the Winnipeg Jets on December 7, 2016, he experienced both setbacks and successes in Windsor. A knee injury in January 2017 sidelined him for a stretch, but he returned to lift the Memorial Cup with the Spitfires on May 28, 2017. He was later traded to the Kitchener Rangers in August 2017 yet still received a team award from Windsor at season’s end.
The jump to professional hockey was gradual. Stanley attended multiple Jets training camps and spent time with the AHL’s Manitoba Moose before breaking into Winnipeg’s NHL lineup in the 2020–21 season. That rookie campaign included personal milestones: his first NHL fight on March 24, 2021, and his first NHL goal on March 27, 2021, scored against David Rittich of the Calgary Flames.
Winnipeg extended several short-term deals to keep him in the organization—contracts in 2021, 2023 and 2024—before trading him to the Buffalo Sabres on March 6, 2026, in a multi-player deal that included Luke Schenn and saw prospects and picks move the other way. On September 27, 2026, Stanley signed a one-year contract with the New York Islanders.
Internationally, he wore Canada’s colours at the 2016 IIHF World U18 Championships and was invited to the 2018 World Junior camp, although he did not make the final roster. On the ice, Stanley’s profile is that of a large, physical defenceman who needed time in junior and the AHL to refine his game before earning consistent NHL opportunities.
